International Workers' Day 1st May 2023

May Day, also known as International Workers' Day, is a global holiday celebrated on the 1st of May to recognize the contributions of workers and the labor movement. It is also an important day for the Scouting movement, as Scouting has long been associated with the values of service and community involvement. The Scouting movement has a strong correlation with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 8, which aims to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. Scouts can support this goal by taking action in their communities to promote economic empowerment and create opportunities for decent work. Scouts can work towards SDG 8 by engaging in activities such as volunteering at job training centers or career fairs, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, and advocating for policies that promote fair labor standards and equal pay. They can also learn about different career paths and explore ways to use their skills and talents to make a positive impact in their communities. On May Day, Scouts can participate in events and activities that promote the values of solidarity and social justice, which are core to both the labor movement and Scouting. This can include joining in parades or rallies to show support for workers' rights and fair labor practices. In summary, May Day and Scouting both have a strong connection to SDG 8, and by working together, Scouts can help to promote economic empowerment and create opportunities for decent work in their communities. By taking action towards SDG 8, Scouts can demonstrate their commitment to building a better world for all.
